Today, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Office of Minority Health (CMS OMH) released the Coverage to Care – Roadmap to Better Care Animated Video, which is designed to help those you serve make the most of their health care coverage. By watching this video, they can learn how the Roadmap to Better Care guides people through each step of their health care journey, including:
- Confirming coverage with their health plan;
- Knowing the difference between primary and emergency care;
- Finding a primary care provider who takes their coverage;
- Making and preparing for a successful appointment; and
- Filling prescriptions and scheduling follow-up visits.
Understanding health coverage doesn’t have to be overwhelming and confusing. Coverage to Care, or C2C, is helping consumers navigate their coverage to access the primary care and preventive services they need to achieve their optimal health.
For more information on how to follow your path to better health, visit go.cms.gov/c2c and review the Roadmap to Better Care. This resource is available in 9 languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, Haitian Creole, Korean, Russian, Spanish, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese. A Tribal Version of the roadmap, with information specific to American Indian/Alaska Native communities, is also available.
